Superman III 4K Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Jeffrey Kauffman May 30, 2023

Superman really is the Man of Steel, or at least of SteelBooks with regard to this collection, which Warner Brothers Home Entertainment has released in this specialized packaging along with its standard packaging release that I reviewed a few weeks ago. This particular release does include some non disc swag that the standard package didn't, which may make it attractive even to collectors who aren't especially "into" SteelBooks.


For more information on the film and its technical merits and supplements, please consult my original Superman III 4K Blu-ray review.

Superman III 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras  3.0 of 5

On disc supplements are detailed in the Superman III 4K Blu- ray review. Additionally, this SteelBook offers a fun reproduction of one of the key art images that originally helped define the film, with Reeve and Richard Pryor in flight. A striking cobalt blue background helps the image to really pop. All of the SteelBooks offer the Superman insignia with the appropriate numeral associated with any given film on the back cover, and the with the exception of Superman II, the inside features only a character photo on the left.


Superman III 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation  3.0 of 5

Superman III can be a lot of fun if it's simply accepted on its own kind of slapsticky, lowbrow comedy, merits. This 4K UHD presentation offers generally secure technical merits, and ports over previously available supplements, with the SteelBook offering a basic but fun illustration of the film's focal duo.
